The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

P-t-goni- vs. -imm- Mid-$$. Been a H-dgem-n guy and thought I'd try something else for a change. Looking for a slimmer/tighter fit. Will be used primarily Oct-May. Sturdier might be OK, $450+ won't.

5-wt WF/DT for a 2-pc rpl+. Been a C-rtl-nd guy and thought I'd try... Haven't heard good things about the Sh-rk lines. Not interested in a clear line.

I appreciate any input you might have. I thought a change might be interesting, so I thought I'd try some different products.

Going to a LOCAL fly shop reminds me of going to a sushi bar, so many decisions to make:
What's new? What's that? What's on his plate? What's fresh? Should I try it? Is it any good?

TIA!!
